Question : Select the option that expresses the given sentence in active voice.

The poor cat was brutally chased by the kids.

Option 1: The kids brutally chase the poor cat.

Option 2: The kids did brutally chased the poor cat.

Option 3: The kids were brutally chasing the poor cat.

Option 4: The kids brutally chased the poor cat.

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: The kids brutally chased the poor cat.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.

The structure of the active voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Subject + adverb + past form of the verb + singular object."

Therefore, the correct answer is: "The kids brutally chased the poor cat."

Option 4: Secretly confide.

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: To allow a secret to be known, usually without intending to.


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Explanation:
The idiom let the cat out of the bag means to allow a secret to be known, usually without intending to. In this context, it implies that the MD unintentionally revealed the secret about the promotion.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Openly confess means admitting something openly, not necessarily related to revealing a secret.
  • Creating a false story means making up a story that is not true and unrelated to the unintentional revelation of a secret.
